Multiple files may be deleted in response to a single request as SMB_COM_DELETE supports wildcards
SearchAttributes indicates the attributes that the target file(s) must have. If the attribute is zero then only normal files are deleted. If the system file or hidden attributes are specified then the delete is inclusive -both the specified type(s) of files and normal files are deleted. Attributes are described in the "Attribute Encoding" section of this document.
If bit0 of the Flags2 field of the SMB header is set, a pattern is passed in, and the file has a long name, then the passed pattern much match the long file name for the delete to succeed. If bit0 is clear, a pattern is passed in, and the file has a long name, then the passed pattern must match the file's short name for the deletion to succeed.
